Identifying the Latest Kayak XU PC Workstation

Identifying the Latest Kayak XU PC Workstation
How can I distinguish the difference between the latest HP Kayak
XU Series 0301, 0303 or 0341 models (introduced after June/July
1998), and the previous HP Kayak XU model (introduced in Fall
1997)?
There are four simple and quick ways to identify the latest HP
Kayak XU model. First, there is the new HP MaxiLife LCD status
panel. Secondly, the processor frequency is 350 MHz or higher.
Thirdly, the model numbers are different, and finally the label
on the side of the newer Kayak XU indicating "Series 0301",
"Series 0303" or "Series 0341".
As well as the above-mentioned differences between the two HP Kayak XU
models, there is also a higher level of system performance due to the 100
MHz system bus (Front Side Bus) with the Intel 440BX AGP chipset
(compared to 66 MHz on the earlier models). The following table shows
some of the new features on the latest HP Kayak XU models.
